This vintage 1950's "Little Hostess" tea set is in great shape! This was my mother's tea set when she was a young child, so has been kept in great shape and I can speak for its condition and authenticity. It was made in Japan and was distributed by Sears Roebuck & Co. and comes with its original box. The "Dainty Pastel Pattern" is a blue willow Japanese design. One of the teacups is broken into three pieces, and I included it just in case the buyer has the means of repairing it (pictured last). The box is pretty beat up but not in all that terrible of shape considering its age. The platter, one of the teacups and one of the saucers each have one small chip (pictured second to last). Everything else looks absolutely pristine!Included:26 piece set
